By Chris Crowell March 30, 2022 View ProfileEnergy storage deployment is growing and interconnection rules have, for the most part, not yet been updated to reflect best practices on how they should be reviewed in the interconnection process. With funding from the Department of Energy, solar industry groups such as IREC, SEIA, CALSSA, EPRI and others have worked for over a year to identify the biggest barriers to storage interconnection and develop solutions to them. This work has resulted in a new toolkit has practical solutions for utilities and utility regulators to update their interconnection policies. The Toolkit and Guidance for the Interconnection of Energy Storage and Solar-Plus-Storage provides vetted, consensus-based solutions to eight regulatory and technical barriers to the interconnection of energy storage and solar-plus-storage systems to the distribution grid….
